Discussion on papers 4, 5 and 6

C. Smith, Binnie Black and Veatch

When will the southern North Sea model be available and will all the data be freely available to interested parties?

T. Oakes, Paper 4

The project is to be programmed for nine months, and should be finished by the spring of 1996. We are certainly being grant aided by the Ministry and its availability has been discussed in the steering group. My experience in the preparation of shoreline management plans is that even though you assume that information is going to be freely available, there can often be problems and it is not. Certainly we would propose that the information should become freely available.
